Notes

Zechariah 1:11

The man on a red horse among the myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8) is referred to as the angel of the Lord (compare Genesis 16:7–13; Exodus 23:23; 32:34; Judges 13:21–22).

Zechariah 1:7–17

Zechariah's first vision shows God's concern for Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:7–15). This is followed by a response (Zechariah 1:16–17) that confirms God's plans to rebuild the temple and restore the city's prosperity.

Zechariah 1:7–6:15

These eight visions helped the Judeans overcome their fears and trust in God's promises. The visions happened two months after Haggai's last two messages (Haggai 2:10–19, 20–23). They suggest that Haggai's prophecies were coming true.
